By looking at the numbers and effort you'd think Isaiah has the 5/70m contract.

Isn't that the same team?

Ok just take out "Anthony Davis" and insert "Al Jefferson".

Quick update:

Green and Thomas is in 7 of our 8 linups with a positive performance. Dragic is in 2 and Bledsoe is in 4.

The line up playing the most minutes (ie the starters) is churning out a -8.8pts per100 possessions.

good game for you guys... unfortunetly this game went how i thought it would... our guys arent mentally tough and even being called out by johnson could lead to a solid 48 minute effort.

Green is such a frustrating player in a good and bad way.

Our entire team has incredibly low basketball IQ. It's amazing that we won this game and that we're 5-3.

I haven't seen ever seen a Suns team with worse clock managment skills than the Suns. Hornacek nearly came on to the court to tell at them telling them to slow the **** down.

something to possibly look forward to: Blake Griffin has apparently been charged with misdemeanor in Vegas, and his first court date is on Saturday when we play the Clippers. Wonder if they might even suspend him a game or two.

i love all our players but it's hard not to wonder how hard Ryan is trying to make a move considering how many good guards we have and how few good bigs we have.. hrmm...

The less I have to watch his bitchmade punk ass the better. Hopefully he's suspended.

well... hoping your opponents better players not playing is a true sign of what we think of the current suns team lol

Basically, Suns rely heavily on Green and Thomas being hot...

I get discomfortable with the "IT is a ballhog" claims.

I made this:

What I read from this table is that, yes, Thomas participates much more than Goran and Bledsoe when he is on court (see touches per 36), and yes, he holds the ball for just a little bit longer than they do (0.5 seconds per possession). But, hey, he actually moves the ball towards the basket much more efficiently than they do (assists per 36) and doesn't have a really significant difference on ammount of times he passes the ball per possession than Goran and Bledsoe.

In my view, if you want to call him a ballhog, you should do the same with all of our guards...and note that he does it way more efficiently than they do, so far.

Green on the other hand... :lol:

Why would they suspend for a charge? They would suspend for a conviction.
